I think of a constitutional crisis as a very specific thing, only one of a number of ways the rule of law and democracy can collapse.
I think we get a constitutional crisis when we have a fracture that the constitutional framework can't correct, such as the executive branch refusing to obey or enforce the rulings of the judiciary. (We seem to be heading directly there).
But that's not essential for authoritarian rule (where we're also heading).
